I was a tank geek (since age ~10) way before I was a Porsche geek!

The funniest part of this story is the drag race that Hitler ordered. Hitler (being a lunatic) decided that no competition between super tanks was complete without a race. The Porsche tank exploded in flames after a short distance. Why ? Ferdinand had created a revolutionary ingenious hybrid electric powertrain ... Sound familiar ?

LOL, I knew someone was to call me out on the technical detail side, tough to get much by the RL crew.

Look at the car this is based on. Not sure but I hear Putin is also behind this one

I got no idea what the words say, hopefully not too offensive to anyone

would this trend goes a different direction if it's a "Seiko" instead of "Hublot".

To combine the two most entertaining threads on RL right now......

The best part of having someone in the passenger seat is that they can pay your bail when you get arrested for speeding on the highway to Rosarito in Mexico.........

I think it would have gone sideways a lot faster if this was the watch the OP was wearing.

Yes it is actually a real Chopard 210K watch you can buy.

The best vanity tag I've heard of on a Porsche was COMPNS8. Self-deprecating humor is the best.
